Visual Studio Code: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 13:09, 22 June 2024

This article is about the rich text editor commonly used with scripts. For the IDE recommended for use with the Source engine's C++ code, see

Visual Studio.

Visual Studio Code (also known shorthand as VSCode) is a rich text editor developed and maintained by Microsoft. Its extension marketplace contains many community-driven extensions catering to scripting formats used in Source, making it a frequently recommended tool among modders who work with scripts. Visual Studio Code should not be confused with Visual Studio, which is a more complicated and heavy-handed application used for Source's C++ source code.

Visual Studio Code is particularly useful for VScript due to its versatility with high-level programming languages. For more information on how to set up Visual Studio Code with VScript, see Setting up Visual Studio for Vscript.

See Visual Studio Code for more general information on Visual Studio Code.

Being one of the most popular code editors, Visual Studio has been in development for almost 10 years, and is Open Source on Github. Visual Studio Code is very useful and quite popular among Source mappers and modders, as many extensions exist to ease the editing and creation of many Valve formats.
